Evil DimStyle Override

[Anonymous]

I have a dimstyle override in a couple of my drawings (How they got in
there is a mystery). When I delete the override and save the drawing,
it will mysteriously re-appear when the drawing is Saved or re-opened.
I've tried everything I could think of (purge, recover, etc.) but this
EVIL override keeps coming back from the dead. This is very annoying as
it keeps re-setting our DIMSCALE value every time the drawing is saved.

What am I doing wrong,

One thought would be to delete the override and then update all the
dimensions. This could be happening because there is something overridden
and that is what keeps changing the dimension. Another possibility is that
there was a block with the same dim name but different settings. If you are
using ADT this is a common problem. Dean Saadallah posted a fix here do a
find for "Dimension GURUS wanted". Hope this helps.

The overrides are often associated with LDD ADT & MDT. Search this NG for
"dimstyle overrides". I posted the only fix I have heard of in the two years
I have been trying to get rid of them ( I work in LDD). Note it will require
you to modify the registry. Make sure you cannot live with them.

John sorry about that I thought Dean posted that info my mistake. Just to
let you know it was greatly appreciated. I would get overrides w/o doing
anything just letting my cpu sit (not that I'm a slacker 😉 and it fixed it
no more hassles.
